The decision making process.
We were pretty set on just naked to be about the self and what the self is in the eyes of the individual. Following your own instincts, being with whoever you want, dressing however you please. But then this idea of ambiguous relationship kept coming up. Is it a boy and boy? Girl and girl? Boy and girl? Are they friends? Lovers? Siblings? It just made sense. The current economic climate means there is less money. Less money to spend on clothes and luxury items so people start to share clothes with their partners, siblings, friends. There becomes one interchangeable wardrobe, there is no heirarchy of fashion, trends become obsolete because its all been done to death.
The notes from our meeting 19/10/09:
story: (how we got to the idea) JUST NAKED -- back to nature -- comune living|family| sheltered life| naieve| manson esque (?possibly?) -- ambiguous relationships -- possible suggestion of... incest/loving family little too much/boyfriend grirlfriend or friends...
fashion angle:
home made
unaffected by trend
recycled
carbon neutral for 2010
hand me downs
economic climate, recession, trying not to spend
notes from maggie.....
borrowed identity, minimal wardrobe to share between the couple. possibility for film direction, cutting to each model in same clothes (we thought possibly stop motion animation of the clothes swapping between models as they stand still). the blurring because of the ecomomy..trying not to spend too much money or being wastefull.
closer to their roots , sharing wardrobe.
look for reference for ambiguity in
art
fashion designers
textuality, textures an materials
designers..products, graphics etc
architecture
music
look to trends for hair in 2010 catwalks..men and women.
Lots to do to form a strong concept.
